Gungans,Gungans in my hair!
     This is a deck that focuses highly on Gungans.
     This deck can fight well on the two most likely contested arenas-  Tatooine and Naboo.
     The Gungans work very well on their homeworld, oftentimes at the location belonging to your opponent...  Which is good to be able to fight well on his turf.  The Ishi Tibs and Battle Cards really shine when you're doing battle on  Tatooine.  Just make sure you battle at the Podrace Arena...  This is where you're strongest at.
     Be careful when using weapons like the Electopole and the Kaadu...  While they make your Gungans really tough, they also make you draw destiny.  Use them wisely and sparingly.  You could easily find yourself depleating your deck before you can finish your strategy.  There are two Republic cruisers there to help you get cards back into your deck in a pinch...
     This deck contains very little rare cards and only the compliment of fixed cards found in your Starter deck.

 Enjoy!

Anakin's Trust Fund...

	Blue Dot-   Jar Jar Binks x2   Anakin Skywalker, Podracer Pilot x4   Padme Naberrie x2   Yoda, Jedi Master   Ric Olie, Ace Pilot

	Yellow Dot-   Anakin Skywalker, Meet Obi-Wan Kenobi x2   Are You An Angel? x2   Counterparts   Da Beings Hereabouts Cawazy x2   Fear Attracts The Fearful   He Was Meant To Help You   The Negotiations Were Short
	Purple Dot-   Tatooine- Podrace Arena x2   Naboo- Theed Palace   Coruscant- Capital City   Naboo Starfighter x3   Republic Cruiser x3

     This is a complete, capitalist, in your face Money Deck!  That's why I call it Anakin's Trust Fund...  Because it revolves around Anakin Skywalker, and you'll just about need a trust fund to afford it!
     As I said, this is a deck that focuses highly on Anakin Skywalker and the cards that work well with him.
     This deck can fight well on Tatooine and Coruscant.  The reason I picked Coruscant as a Deck Strength is because the Dark will most lickly want to fight there...  As they are considerably week at Naboo.  As with most (if not all) of the decks you'll find with this set...  It's real strength is on Tatooine.
     I have selected all of the Jedi (multiples even) and their weapons.
     Anakin, while really tough, makes you draw lots of destiny!  If you're force to fight long and hard with him, you may run out of deck before you win your planet.  If necessary, avoid using the weapons and stick with the Anakin + Some other character combo cards (like, He Was Meant To Help You).
     This deck contains tons of rare cards, so you may not be able to easily put something like this together.  This is simply something that you COULD do, if money wasn't a real object.

 Cheers!

The Drainer...

Deck Design by: Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32  Strategy by: Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32  Editorial by: Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32 Date: 1999	Red Dot-   Jawa, Bargainer x10
	Blue Dot-   Bravo Pilot x3   Royal Guard, Leader x7
	Green Dot-   Rabe, Handmaider   Mas Amedda, Vice Chancellor x2   Jawa, Thief x2   Royal Gurad, Veteran x5
	Orange Dot-   Jawa Ion Blaster x4   Blaster Rifle x6
	Yellow Dot-   Da Biengs Hereabouts Cawazy x5   The Queen's Plan x5
	Purple Dot-   Tatooine- Podrace Arena x3   Naboo- Theed Palace   Coruscant- Capital City   Naboo Starfighter x5

     There are no rares in this deck...  None...  Nada!
     The key to this deck is not planet victories at all...  It simply doesn't have the overall power potential.  However, it uses the extremely cheap deploy of it's characters to overwhelm the opponent and cause severe deck damage through breakthrough damage.
     In a fight, the overall high destiny of this deck really shines.  Half the deck is a destiny of 5 or 6.  The Jawa Ion Guns with the Jawas in the deck are very strong...  Especially when you consider the chance of drawing such a high eweapon destiny.
     Try to make your stand on Tatooine...  But, avoid deploying too much.  You'll be tempted to over deploy in order to do more break through damage.  This tactic could back-fire if your opponent surrenders the planet to you and you find you have less personel to deploy to the next planet.  There are no transports in this deck (the destiny is too low!).  So be careful when you deploy.  I feel that keep a contingent of around 5 more characters than your opponent has at the location is adequite.
     This has been tryied a couple of times, but, not in a real tournament environment.  It looks really good on paper, and the theory behind it is sound.  It's true test is yet to come.
     Feel free to add important rares to this mix to your liking.  Particularly R2-D2, C-3PO or any of the Queen Amidala's...  They have very high destiny to provide for you.

Enjoy!

You Dare Not Go Against The Jedi...

Deck Design by: Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32  Strategy by: Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32  Editorial by: Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32 Date: May 10, 1999	Red Dot-   Qui-Gon Jinn, Jedi Master x2   Qui-Gon Jinn, Jedi Protector x2   Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Padawan x2   Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Apprentice x2   Mace Windu, Jedi Master   Ki-Adi-Mundi, Cerean Jedi Knight
	Blue Dot-   Yoda, Jedi Council Member x3   Yaddle, Jedi Master x3   Padme Naberrie, Handmaiden   Padme Naberrie, Queen's Handmaiden   Capatin Tarpals, Gungan Officer x2
	Green Dot-   Sci Taria, Chancellor's Aid x2   R2-D2, Astromech Droid x2   C-3PO, Anakin's Creation x2   Queen Amidala, Royal Leader x2   Queen Amidala, Representitive Of Naboo x2
	Orange Dot-   Qui-Gon Jinn's Lightsaber x2   Obi-Wan Kenobi's Lightsaber x2   Jedi Lightsaber x3   Blaster Rifle x3
	Yellow Dot-   There's Always A Bigger Fish x2   Guardians Of The Queen x3   Jedi Force Push x3   The Negotiations Were Short x2
	Purple Dot-   Tatooine- Podrace Arena x2   Naboo- Theed Palace   Coruscant- Jedi Council Chamber x2   Republic Cruiser, Transport x3   Bravo 1, Naboo Starfighter x2

     This deck focuses on the huge power of the Jedi.  Many of these cards can be found in the Jedi Council Expansion.  There are many rares, but, these expansions have been around long enough where you'll be able to get most of them without much effort.
     This deck is designed to win on Tatooine and Coruscant, it has virtually no real power on Naboo.  Don't try to fight an extended compaign on Naboo, simply give it up if you can.  If you have to fight on Naboo, I've selected the Theed Palace as most of the Sith's firepower will be geared for the Battle Plains.
     The new Effect, There's Always A Bigger Fish, makes deploying these expensive Jedi a little easier.  It also takes advantage of the juicy new Battle Card, Jedi Force Push.
     There are a lot of supporting characters that were put in simply because of their high destiny.  This will help your Jedi and their weapons, who have relatively low destinies.

Enjoy!

A Handmaiden's Tale

     The Queen/ Padme deck is one of the more popular Light Side deck style out there.  It's strong because it has a high destiny ratio giving your queens and padmes real power.
     The Strength of this deck  lies in taking the win at Tatooine and Naboo.  Try to avoid fighting a prolonged conflict on Corusctant if you can help it.
     You may not be able to completely fill out all of the Queens and the Padmes that you see here.  Mix and match as you can.  The strength of this deck is not necessarily the location bonuses but the high destiny in battle.
     Damage is a bit high, particularly with the Queens and especially if you opponent plays with the After Her! effect.  Just keep an eye on where you're fighting and who you're going up against.
